DETER-R: An operational near-real time tropical forest disturbance warning system based on Sentinel-1 time series analysis.
Continuous monitoring of forest disturbance on tropical forests is a fundamental tool to support proactive preservation actions and to stop further destruction of native vegetation. Currently most of the monitoring systems in operation are based on optical imagery, and thus are flaw-prone on areas w...

Compound impact of land use and extreme climate on the 2020 fire record of the Brazilian Pantanal
Aim Our aim was to quantify the influence of climate and land use on major fires that occurred during the 2020 drought over the Brazilian Pantanal region. Location Alto Paraguay Basin, central-western flank of Brazil. Time period 2003-2020. Methods We calculated climatic and burned area anomalies an...

The influence of diethylaniline and toluene on the streamer propagation in cyclohexane between a point-plane gap under positive impulse voltage stress.
Liquid insulation is used in high voltage equipment such as power transformers as both dielectric medium and coolant. Breakdown in liquid insulation tends to be governed either by streamer initiation under more uniform fields, or by streamer propagation under more non-uniform fields. A model streame...

Importance of including soil moisture in drought monitoring over the Brazilian semiarid region: an evaluation using the JULES model, in situ observations, and remote sensing.
Soil moisture information is essential to monitoring of the intensity of droughts,the start of the rainy season, planting dates and early warnings of yield losses.We assess spatial and temporal trends of drought over the Brazilian semiaridregion by combining soil moisture observations from 360 stati...

Impacts of land use and land cover changes on hydrological processes and sediment yield determined using the SWAT model.
Land use and land cover (LULC) changes strongly affect local hydrology and sediment yields. The current study focused on a basin in the Brazilian Amazon and had the following three objectives: (1) to perform an effective diagnosis of flow and sediment yield, (2) to evaluate the impacts of LULC chang...

Characteristics of lightning-caused wildfires in central Brazil in relation to cloud-ground and dry lightning
Lightning ignition is the major cause of natural wildfires in several regions worldwide. Determining if wildfires in remote uncontrolled areas result from natural lightning as opposed to anthropic action is a relevant and yet-unsolved challenge for large regions of the planet, with scientific and ma...

Environmental vulnerability assessment of Brazilian Amazon Indigenous lands.
Amazonian Indigenous Lands (ILs) are human-environment systems facing a multitude of environmental threats. Yet, the resulting vulnerability of these systems are to date unknown. We adopt the theoretical vulnerability framework of the IPCC to assess the environmental vulnerability of Brazilian Amazo...

Evaluating the performance of radiometers for solar overirradiance events.
This paper describes a methodology used to evaluate pyranometers and reference cell performance in relation to solar overirradiance (OIR) events. By definition, these events are characterized when global horizontal irradiance (GHI) exceeds the extraterrestrial horizontal irradiance (ETH) due to clou...

Brazilian biomes distribution: past and future
The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 26.519 ka) was marked by atmospheric cooling, in contrast to the current warming climate, which will probably continue in the coming decades, according to climate models projections. The LGM to pre-industrial transition provides an opportunity to test the vegetation re...
